My birthday and my sister's are 6 days apart. So since we spent my birthday together in San Francisco this past weekend I made her a special birthday cake cookie as an early birthday present. Next I think I want to try making one with sanding sugar. Or little decorations to make it look like a real cake!
So my baby sister graduated from St. Mary's College this weekend. So for goody bags I made some cookies with the St. Mary's logo on them. The "G" stands for the Gaels, which is their mascot and are apparently knights... not birds like I thought, haha.
Decorating tunes included Justin Timberlake (first album!) and a couple random New Kids on the Block songs, like "Cover Girl" and "Tonight."
I made some favor bags of cookies for a little girl named Abby who turned 1 a week ago. Her mom, Jen, picked the perfect color combination of light pink, light green and yellow and the cookies looked beautiful together! "A" and "1" sugar cookies with lemon icing and sprinkles. Check out Abby's birthday party on Jen's blog here - so sweet!
And since I wanted to try out some techniques I made her a special little birthday cake cookie as well. It turned out so cute that I made another one for my sister for her birthday!
Decorating tunes had to be Taylor Swift's song "Fifteen" (and the rest of the "Fearless" album) because it's about her best friend Abigail and these were for a little girl named Abby!
Happy Birthday Sue cake! Chocolate cake with chocolate whipped cream filling and chocolate ganache frosting. Oh, and cream cheese frosting accents. A chocolate-lovers dream!
Not a whole lot can beat chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Unless you add raspberry whipped cream filling! (Plus the sugar stars don't hurt). I made this for a friend's "Going Back to Work" party last year. Mmmmmm, now I'm craving it!
Spiderman Themed Cupcakes for a 4-year-old boy's birthday party. The party was great too- nice and laid back and I relaxed the whole time! More pictures can be found here.

I got a couple Le Cruset mini spatulas (2nd one down) from Christopher (with help from Daddy!) for my birthday. I got blue and white and I already had green. They're perfect for filling in icing in cookies.
